W… W… W… Wednesday, hosted by Taking on a World of Worlds is a weekly meme showcasing what you just finished reading, what you are currently reading, and what you plan to start reading next. Except I’m changing it up a bit, since I can never plan what I’m reading next (moody reader). Instead I’m going to talk about a book I’ve recently added to my TBR that I’m excited about!
what i recently finished reading
Audio Books:
Forbidden Falls was cute. I think I may have liked it more if I read it instead of listened to it, because I didn’t love the narrator. I definitely want to continue the series sometime in the future.
I started out loving Followers because it was unique, but halfway through I lost interest and I really disliked the ending.
Between Shades of Gray has been on my TBR list for years. Such a heartbreaking story – the audio book was very good.
what i’m Currently Reading
I spent more time binge watching Food Network shows with my husband the past week than I did reading. 😀 I’m almost done with The Giver of Stars, and I’m still loving it.
A few weeks ago I decided to delete a bunch of books off my TBR list that I knew I’d never get to and start focusing on back list books. Audio books are helping me catch up on the books I’ve had on my list for awhile – I started listening to The Marriage of Opposites, and I really like it. Alice Hoffman became a must-read author for me last year after I read 3 of her books and loved all of them.
what i have recently added to my tbr
I read an Emily Henry YA book a few years ago and loved it. I think this is her first adult contemporary book and it sounds really cute.

That’s funny–I just purchased The Marriage of Opposites at a used bookstore over the weekend! Glad you’re enjoying it. I haven’t read any of her books yet. Sunnie read Matilda!!! That was my FAVORITE as a kid! I hope she loved it!!
She did love it!! I highly recommend The Rules of Magic and Faithful. I absolutely loved them.
Such a bummer about Followers. I’m having a lot of trouble with it and don’t know if I even want to continue trying. I love the cover of Beach Read. I hope you enjoy it.
I don’t want to be super negative…but if you’re not enjoying it, it’s not worth it to push through.
Yeah, I think I’m going to just mark it as DNF. I actually think the guilt of not reading this book when I should have been since I needed to review it is what caused my reading slump this month.
Life is too short to waste on books we don’t enjoy. Don’t feel bad about it!!
Do you think I should skip Followers? Or do you think it might be one I would like? I know it wasn’t your favorite.
Honestly, I don’t think you’d like it. But, if you do try it, maybe the audio is a better way to go. I did love the narrator.
I think I requested the narrator. I have no shame in DNFing, so I’ll keep this in mind if I listen to it.
The Marriage of Opposites cover is really interesting. I’ll have to go see what it’s about.

I’m a little hit or miss with Alice Hoffman but I have been looking a Marriage of Opposites so will be interested in your thoughts.
Also really want to read Giver of Stars at some point. I bought it for my Mum at Christmas but haven’t managed to borrow it from her.
I’m happy to hear you thought Between Shades Of Gray was a good one! And I definitely can’t wait to read The Giver Of Stars now. Have a wonderful weekend! xx
I need to read The Giver of Stars. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Jojo Moyes book.
